1 00:00:03,590 --> 00:00:00,880 [Music] 2 00:00:05,510 --> 00:00:03,600 500 32 nanometers 3 00:00:08,030 --> 00:00:05,520 that's the wavelength of a 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:08,040 bright green color the color of the laser from the 5 00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:10,650 atlas instrument that measures the elevation 6 00:00:15,770 --> 00:00:14,070 of the earth under it when it receives them 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:15,780 the photons coming from the earth 8 00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:18,330 have to filter the sunlight that it is 9 00:00:23,810 --> 00:00:20,670 reflected from the planet as it could 10 00:00:26,210 --> 00:00:23,820 overwhelm the detectors so you are 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:26,220 just getting in the light waves that 12 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:29,970 measure exactly 500 32 nanometers in 13 00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:32,730 that wavelength range 14 00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:34,950 sunlight also activates the 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:37,760 bile detectors so programs are needed 16 00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:40,410 computer systems to filter
